    Who's the first to put regular octane gas on their GX550?

    I do not have a GX. I have three other Lexus vehicles that call for premium fuel. The LX570 calls for premium and the essentially identical 200 Land Cruiser says regular is fine. I have used regular with the LX, a GS350 and a NX300 after evaluating both regular and premium, I have found no...

    Auxiliary or Larger Gas Tank

    I can't remember what type fuel pump used was back then. The inexpensive one that I replaced it with isfairly slow but keeps well ahead of your fuel usage while you are driving. No problem filling main tank while driving. My install was on my 80 series LC was about 20 years ago. I have had to...

    Auxiliary or Larger Gas Tank

    It will likely be pretty similar to the build of my 80 series with their tank, which was imported by Man-A-Fre. That required removal of the spare tire and its repositioning. This link is to the placement on my 80 series LC...

    Towing caravan - fuel consumption?

    I have owned 7 Toyotas if you include Lexus’s. Up until my 22 Tundra I would have agreed with you. I have had an active recall that after a couple of years may have an available fix, seat panels that have broken four times that I had to pay for, an engine blowup and got a RAV4 as a replacement...

    Towing caravan - fuel consumption?

    A lot of stuff in Australia is different than in the US. IIRC there was a factory auxiliary tank for the 80 series LC in Australia. When I installed mine in the US,, had to get parts from there. I might be a bit concerned about doing much with the fuel system due to the problems with the...

    Towing caravan - fuel consumption?

    I own a 2022 Tundra that has an EPA rating of 23 mpg—2 mpg better than the GX550. I have driven a fair numbers of trailers with it. Going 70 mph with no trailer I get up to 21-22 mpg. I assume it has the same V35A engine as the you would get. With an empty 20 foot livestock trailer, using my...

    GX Overtrail+ not having Second Row Climate Controls and Digital Rear View Mirror at that price

    I have a digital mirror on my Tundra and like it. If you don't like it, you can flip it into a regular mirror mode.

    GX Overtrail+ not having Second Row Climate Controls and Digital Rear View Mirror at that price

    The GX550 OT+ checks all the boxes on my list except for the digital rear view mirror. The lack of a third row seat is a plus since it would allow for easier placement of my Engel fridge/freezer. I too would like to know if the wiring is in place for the camera is in place. Buying the...

    Auxiliary or Larger Gas Tank

    I added an auxiliary fuel tank to my 80 series Land Cruiser and like it. It required moving the spare tire, a rear bumper to hold the tire, a fuel gauge/switch to power the pump and a new filler neck. A lot of work but it has been in for many years and still functions well. I can carry enough...

    GX550 Real World MPG

    What is the typical MPG with a light trailer of less than 2,000 pounds? I would be interested in road experience with a light foot.
